Jeremiah 14
 A Mortally Wounded Brigand Quenches his Thirst (c. 1825) Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) Romanticism Style Offentliche Kunstsammlung, Basel, Switzerland Image Source: Web Gallery of Art [ Illustration: Today's painting illustrates thirst, which is one of the judgments that God will send against the wicked. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: Jeremiah 14, presents the LORD as the God who controls the rains and the waters. The land of Judah and the city of Jerusalem were going to suffer drought because of the sins of the people. Unlike the brigand pictured above they would not find water; but, like him, they would die in their sins. As the chapter opens, the LORD sends a word to Jeremiah concerning the dearth, literally the "restraint," which in this case means a restraint of waters -- a drought (1). The inhabitants will mourn, languish, be depressed, and cry out (2). Their nobles will send their little ones to find water; but they will return empty and ashamed; the ground will be dry; no one will plow; the animals will abandon their newborns and will die in the field (3-6). A spokesman (Jeremiah) prays for the people asking the LORD for help for His name's sake, in spite of their sins; he asks the LORD not to be like a stranger to them and to not be like a mighty but dumbfounded man who cannot save (7-9). But the LORD says that the people have been unrestrained in their wandering and will be judged for it (10). So the LORD forbids Jeremiah to pray and tells him that he will neither accept their fasts nor their offerings but will consume them by sword, famine, and pestilence (11-12). Jeremiah then tells the LORD that the prophets are prophesying peace; but the LORD says he has not sent them, and they will die and lie unburied in the streets (13-16). Therefore the LORD calls Jeremiah to weep continually for the people because they will lie dead in the fields, and be sick with famine in the cities, and go into exile (17-18). But Jeremiah ends the chapter with a plea to God asking him why he has utterly rejected them and left them unhealed; he acknowledges their sin but pleads with him not to abhor them and to remember his covenant; and he confesses than the gods of the heathen cannot cause rain; so he says that they will wait upon God who makes all these things (19-22).

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

The LORD's Sixth Word: Drought, Sword, Famine, Plague, Death, & Captivity are Coming (14:1 - 15:21) 2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads. 4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. 5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass. 6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass. 7 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 8 O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? 9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not. 10 Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. 17 Therefore thou shalt say [this] -- [this] word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow. 18 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not. 19 Hast thou utterly rejected [Spurning you spurned] [this] Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble! 20 We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. 21 Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. 22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made [this] all these things.
